Constraction reviews in Austin, Texas

From small things like changing out all of my interior door knobs to the biggest things like a kitchen remodel, building an outside deck and a roof replacement, I can't say enough good things about Anything Around the House. Servando (owner) and his team are professional and trustworthy. AATH is a complete outfit...they deliver everything turnkey, which means you don't have to hire separate contractors for different aspects of a project. I highly recommend!

Unfortunately I can't recommend using this company if you have a somewhat smaller project. I hired them to knock down a wall in my new place, as well as install some lighting where it didn't exist. The work itself was fine once it was completed, but getting it completed was a pain.

- I was told electricians would not be installing lighting, and I just needed to mark where the canned lights would go. I came to find out the electricians installed the lights, and they were the wrong lights all together. I had specified the electricians couldn't stay past 8 due to neighborhood rules, and they stayed past 11.
- More than one occasion they showed up more than 30 minutes late
- I had sent the contractors the tile I wanted to use, and we had discussed them picking it up. It wasn't until the day of that the tilers asked me if I had the tile. The tile was no longer available and I had to scramble and choose another one.
- I was told drywall and paint would occur on a specific date. I called to ask where they were when they were over 30 minutes late, just to find out it had been rescheduled, without me being notified.

I did tell the owner all this, and they assured me they would improve their process, but wanted to share my experience with others.

I have had Anything Around the House come out on several occasions to do minor handyman work. Servando and his crew are very polite, capable and professional service people. They arrived on time every time they have been to my house. Yesterday, Tony installed a ceiling fan and encountered some difficulty. I was charged the estimated price and no extra for his extra time.

I highly recommend Anything Around the House !

Servando was very responsive to my needs for rescuing me from a faucet replacement. It took a second and very prompt return trip to shore up a temporary leak. Good job overall and they stand by their work!

I wanted to write a quick review for this company because even though I did not hire them for the project, they were a pleasure to interact with. Servando (the owner) came out to my home multiple times and engaged with multiple vendors to try to help get a quote together on my project. Pricing was reasonable. Ultimately timing is why we didn’t select them on this. That said, I am confident that they would have done great work for us and am hopeful to hire them in the future. Definitely give them a call.

As a Commercial Construction Superintendent in need of residential services, I spoke with numerous contractors about our home remodel. I found that Anything Around The House was the most honest with their quote and realistic about time management and expectations. Servando was professional and brought forth great concepts/ideas towards our project. For that, we appreciate AATH and look forward to working with them in the future.

Great Company, Solid Work.

I own 2 restaurants and this team came out to fix a few things, plumbing and some other stuff. They worked until everything was fixed and even came back to check in on their work. Highly recommend.

In April 2016, Anything Around the House replaced our roof with quality materials and solid workmanship. They did such a quality job that I had them construct and mount new gutters to my home. They customized the gutters to fit my needs (2 different rain barrels away from the house) and offered solutions that have stood the test of time with record-breaking rainfalls. Again they used quality materials and methods, so in 2018, I had them replace my privacy fence and recently our 20-year old flooring. All these projects have improved the look and value of my home. I highly recommend Anything Around the House for home improvement projects.

Servando and his crew are Great! We had AC issues, called them up and they got here in a jiffy and fixed our AC. They have also helped us with installing new door locks and installing ring cameras. If you need anything fixed call Anything around the House. They do Fantastic work! And it's guaranteed!

Update: I can no longer recommend anything around the house. We have a couple small things that weren't done right, but that's ok. They did work for my sister and it took 2 years longer than they estimated and they made a lot of mistakes. This was before the pandemic started.

We have worked with this company on projects big and small---from total remodels to small repairs--and they have knocked it out of the park every time. Servando (the owner) is personally involved in each project, and the staff is amazing and professional. They are on time, on budget, and maintain high quality. You can see their work featured in our home on House Hunter's renovation, and we've used them several times since. I would happily give them a glowing recommendation any day of the week.

Working with Anything Around the House was fantastic for the following reasons:
Our organization makes remodel/repair decisions by committee and Servando heard this and offered three options so the committee could make the best decision for the project

AATH crew checked in at our front office which is very important to our campus as we have various programs at any given time and it allows us to know who is here and where.

AATH worked around our busy facility schedule to have minimal down time.

AATH was very thoughtful and took the time to clean up after themselves.

AATH workmanship was excellent.

We would definitely use them again!

Servando and team did a great job bringing some new life into my new home.

I used Anything Around The House to install a gutter system and they did a fantastic job at a competitive price. The recent rain storms tested out the system and it's been full proof.

Anything Around the House (AATH) is a great company to hire for home renovations. My first project was the replacement of 2 doors and a slider in my older home. The whole process went smoothly. I felt the estimate was fair. The work was completed in a timely manner. The workers showed up on time and were respectful of the occupants and the property. The project went so good, that I decided to have AATH do a kitchen and partial bath renovation. Having had renovations done at previous homes, I knew that little things can go wrong that are outside of the control of the contractor. The kitchen project, overall, went smoothly and I am happy with the results. Since this was an older home, there were some concerns about the condition of the electrical and siding. AATH was honest and only fixed what could be deemed a safety concern. The workmanship was great. The overall inconvenience of the project was kept to a minimum. There were some moments of communication breakdowns with the occupants and sub contractors. AATH was quick to respond and get things back on track. Before the Kitchen/bath renovation was completed, I decided to have new flooring installed in the kitchen, great room and hall. Again, AATH gave me a good estimate and was able to complete this project in a timely manner. There was a mix up with the sub contractor on some of the details, but AATH responded quickly and the flooring project was done to everyone's satisfaction. I felt that AATH worked hard to do the best job possible. I was impressed with their quick response to questions and concerns that occur during a renovation project. The fact that there was an out of state home owner, renters and several projects overlapping could be a challenge. AATH more than met the challenge. They did a great job, at a great price and on time. I highly recommend Anything Around the House for home repair and renovation.

Servando and staff were knowledgeable and professional.

Needed help leveling a floor and the crew they brought on did a wonderful job. When we put the trim back in it went right back to the paint line and level around the parameter of the rooms with no shimming or nailing in place needed.

Great stuff. You get what you pay for!

We have used Anything Around the House since it opened in 2011. The company does anything you need to repair or renovate in your home. The workers have, repaired our wood fence, plus built a new entry gate into our backyard. They installed a low-flow toilet, two garbage disposals, plus a second stair rail, and grab bars in my shower to keep me safe. The reason we consistently use the company is because the workers always arrive on time. They are efficient and know exactly what they're doing, are always friendly, and make sure they clean up afterwards. Communication, both by phone and in person, is exceptional. Their prices are amazingly reasonable. They are honest about their estimates. For example, we asked that one side of our backyard fence be replaced. Servando, the owner, looked at it and told us it didn't need to be replaced. All that was done was the replacement of posts, plus slats. We always receive a call after work has been completed to make sure we're happy with the result. I can't say anything negative about this company or its employees. We couldn't be more pleased.

The team at Anything Around the House do wonderful work! They repainted my entire home interior and exterior, put a new roof on for us, landscaped half our yard, and done other miscellaneous jobs. I highly recommend them.

I’d highly recommend AATH. Servando and his team were professional, & on time, from start to finish. They let me know anytime there was a change in estimate and worked with me to meet my budget. I LOVE my new screened in porch.

We have trusted Anything Around The House with taking care of our home for over 10 years. Servando, Donna and their team have always been responsive and clear, and have always provided fairly priced, quality workmanship for the various things that we have needed.
Through the years, Anything Around The House has helped us with everything from hanging curtain rods to interior and exterior painting, plumbing emergencies, glass repair, stonework, electrical repairs and exterior work.
There is nothing like having a trusted, local company that can go through your punch list of miscellaneous needs for your home and take care of everything. Anything Around The House is a true gem. I wouldn't call anyone else!

We recently had Anything Around the House install new toilets for us and not only were they quick and efficient but Servando made the best recommendations on which toilet to get (I'm not knowledgeable at all when it comes to toilets) that didn't break the bank. It's been about two weeks and I couldn't be happier, the work is seamless and took one day to complete!

I previously used this company years ago and had a good experience, which is why I hired them again for a recent project. Unfortunately, this time the work was extremely disappointing.

There were numerous mistakes and multiple failed attempts to correct them. The most serious issue was my newly installed bathtub being scratched during installation, after the shower door was installed upside down. After 3 attempts by a subcontracted "tub expert" to fix the scratches, the tub surface had been ruined, and I ultimately had to hire another company to resurface the entire tub.

Beyond that, many aspects of the job were not well executed, including the tile work, plumbing, and drywall repairs. The quality of workmanship was far below what I would expect from a professional company .

The billing and invoicing process is very outdated. There were billing and work description errors identified along the way, which made the process frustrating and required ongoing oversight on my part.

There is also no electronic payment option. Instead, I was repeatedly contacted for payment almost immediately after invoices were issued. Since I no longer use personal checks, this required multiple trips to the bank to obtain cashier’s checks, which added unnecessary inconvenience to an already stressful project.

Unfortunately, I also recommended this company to a friend who had work done around the same time, and their experience was even worse than mine. Based on both experiences, I would strongly suggest looking elsewhere.
